2023 offseason thread

Disagree on this. You can project one or two rings for Curry and Klay without Draymond but not the dynasty. Somebody has to do the dirty work and he does that with aplomb. I respect the game. He just doesn’t have the latitude he thinks he does.

They get zero without Draymond because they don’t get KD without him.

And they certainly don’t win the 2 others that they got without him.

That would make more sense if I said that.

You really did lol

I really didn't and this board is not the place to try this nonsense lol

Oh I know all that just taking the role of the non-Warrior fan haters, to them the middle 2 aren't as legit, stacked superteam etc. So dumb.

He doesn’t belong in that lane. Worthy and Pippen could go out and get you thirty on the regular if the team needed that from them. Draymond? Nah. Dude is a role player extraordinaire. Don’t get me wrong. He’s very very good at it. Best in his generation of players. But still a role player.

He doesn’t belong in the lane you tried to put him in either.

He is a 4 time all star, DPOY, 2 time All NBA, 4 time first team all defense, 2 time 2nd team all defense.

Sorry, but he is closer to Pippen and Worthy than he is to Robert Horry.

And no, I don’t think he is particularly close to Pippen/Worthy level.

Indeed, the end of any argument

A lot of players are getting into the media business and a lot are good at it. This isn't going to be handed to him as the competition will be there.

Jeff Teague is good at this
Pat Bev is damn good at this
PG 13 got a nice his pod himself

Far from a lock than it looked 2 years ago that he becomes the next barkley

These guys above saying it matters that Chuck was better than Draymond. OK well Dray is way better tham Teague and Pat Bev and kinda the same with PG if you factor in winning.

As you said, we will see

I think it is a lock.

Turner going to sign him as soon as he retires.

At some point, the worm is going to turn as well. People are now publicly critical of the hot take media and sometimes it comes from media members themselves. I don’t know when it will be but I think the public is fickle and over time will evolve and change again and more people will embrace the JJ Redick Jay Bilas style over the Stephen A Skip Bayless model. But time will tell.

I think this is a reasonably optimistic take...and if Dray is smart he'll read it and embrace it

I think it’s like anything else. It will get over saturated and stale. It’s already happening.

Hope so, I'm a little more pessimistic about the zeitgeist these days, performative outrage still seems pretty popular considering the return of Trump and social media outrage fests

You really need to read what you say sometimes. “He doesn’t kick other humans in the nuts anymore, what a great guy”!!!!

LOL.
